Well, OK, to be fair, I should have just started ignoring his emails – but they were just too funny! Backstory for those just tuning in: some guy stole some content off a site I write for, pasted it word-for-word and image-for-image on his own site, then turned (in my opinion) psychotically beligerent when I asked him politely to remove the illegally copied content from his site, and directed him to relevant copyright laws.
Now he is threatening to call the police for harassment, his lawyer for defamation, and the FBI for threatening him. He also wants to contact my hosting provider to get this site suspended and Google to delete the (for-spam-use-only) email address I gave him to conact me at. For all I know he plans to call my mother and explain to her that I’ve been a very bad boy.
Anyway, I’ve made an executive decision to stop contacting him. Eventually he started to annoy me to the point where I started to use excessive strong language – which I took to mean his apparent psychosis was rubbing off on me. Also, his last letter included a vague by somewhat disturbing threat that could be interpreted to mean I might end up as another blood-spattered patch on the pavement and front-pager of a local news story.
So, this is probably the last I will write of my internet stalker. It’s been entertaining at times, strange at others, but it just goes to show you: some people really really need to get out more.
UPDATE: he has reported me to GMail and forwarded his complaint :)
UPDATE: he is writing to various sites I have submitted content to and ranting and raving about me. It’s pretty funny, cuz he’s calling me an internet stalker, saying I’m harassing/threatening him and such, but he’s the one contacting everyone he can think of to trash me lolz. I feel like I’m back in 8th grade :(

OK, so I have found some great links, but I think that sharing them all alongside this link would be unfair to this link. This link is, in fact, an amazing link. OK, I’ll admit it, my high opinion of this link is probably colored by the fact that I just moved to a cheaper apartment surrounded by crackheads and crack dealers. No, not kidding.
Make no mistake, I have no real problem with them – they laugh and play out in front, dealing crack and causing no real harm except some occassional pee on the stoop. To be honest, the crachheads/dealers are pretty entertaining all in all. Perhaps that’s why I found this link so incredibly, gut-wrenchingly, hilariously entertaining. Here it is.
Enjoy that? Well, you can always find more at the Best of Craigslist. No, this isn’t a sponsored post, Craigslist is free you @#$%ing idiot!
I love my readers too much for that stuff!

 OK, so AllSux.com gets a few thousand hits a day, and 50-some odd (probably in both senses of the term, but don’t worry, I love oddballs!) people have even subscribed to the feed, despite the RSS info being jammed way at the bottom of the sidebar. So who are you people? Hi from AllSux!
The average number of comments on AllSux is 2 per post, which (supposedly) is typical – because less than 1% of blog readers leave comments on average. So, I suppose I can’t reasonably expect you to come out of the closet and leave a comment just because I ask. Nonetheless, hello out there [he shouts into the interweb abyss].
That is all :)

 In case he should sue me for this, I hereby disclaim this post and avow that it is entirely my incredibly biased, subjective and stupid opinion – not fact. If I should mysteriously stop posting, assume I was murdered – or went out for a cheeseburger.
This all started a few weeks ago when someone copied a full blog post – hotlinked images and all – from a website I contribute to. I contacted him and firmly but politely asked him to remove the copied content, warning him that his actions were against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines (though I didn’t even mention they were also illegal). Apparently, though framed as well as I could considering the circumstances, he took this as a personal threat. Here is my account of the interchange, though feel free to skip ahead to where I point out that he is breaking the law and I can sue his [noun removed].

(10) What kind of idiot tries to sue the Red Cross over its use of a red cross?
(9) Strange but true, some people are really just mirror images of people.
(8) Did you know that you could solve any Rubik’s cube puzzle in just 26 moves? I know I didn’t.
(7) I know I wouldn’t want to be a blind man who stumbled into an all-girl’s biker bar.
(6) Bored at work? Try this beginner’s guide to breaking into buildings that has some amazing images from sewer tunnels and abandoned structures.
(5) Google, though usually evil as we all know, for once seems to have their head on straight in rebutting an argument that they could save energy by making the Google.com background black.
(4) See the two-month-old blog that just made the front page of Digg.com three days in a row.
(3) Is anyone really shocked that breast implants are linked to suicide?
(2) Out of sight, out of mind … President Bush notes that if he hasn’t seen it, clearly the US doesn’t torture people.
(1) Since this link list obviously sux, I highly recommend you go check out a much better top 10 link list.

This is really just too funny. So Digg.com has a reputation for taking down sites with massive traffic loads, as it just did to WebUrbanist. However, another article currently on the front page specifically addresses load issues. The headline reads: “Traffic generated by Digg’s over 1.2 million famously info-hungry users can crash an unsuspecting website head-on into its CPU, memory, and bandwidth limits. How does Digg handle all this load?”
Irony of all ironies, this website – HighScalability.com – itself can’t handle the Digg load. In one single move the site managed to undermine the credibility of its own domain name! Priceless.

OK, so umm … if you’re not reading WebUrbanist, you’re missing out:
Oh, and here’s me on on the members page of MBL. I’m standing on a 40-ton slap of concrete suspended in mid-air at the Burning Man festival … I think about 3 or 4 years ago. No, I’m not wearing a shirt. But no, I am also not naked. Check here for some more amazing photos of Black Rock City.
